Vance Lake Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Escape to your own private lakefront lodge and treat yourself to full days of paddling, fishing, biking, hiking, and so much more here in Manitowish Waters! As soon as you arrive, you will be greeted by a backdrop of lush greenery and blue waters that will let all of life's worries slip away. Step inside and you will find lake-themed decor, a spacious layout, and plush furnishings to kick back on during any downtime spent indoors. When you need to curb everyone's appetite, the fully equipped kitchen is adjacent to the living area boasting bar seating at the island, all of the major appliances, and plenty of counter space to help you whip up any recipe with ease. When you want to get a bit of fresh air, step out to the covered patio with a cup of coffee each morning, walk down to the private dock on warm summer days, or gather around the firepit as the stars come out! Don't forget to bring the furry members of the family along too, as this home is dog-friendly! If you want to experience over 52 miles of paved bike trails, there's nothing better than the Heart of Vilas County Bike Trail, accessible right from the home.

The house was perfect for us!!! We brought our bikes hoping for some decent trails and were thrilled to find the best bike trails in the state only a few blocks away. The location of the house was secluded and peaceful, yet very close to fun restaurants and bars. Being on the lake was great for kayaking and fishing. We had a great week enjoying nature and the friendly people we met along the way.

We have stayed on Vance Lake in the past and enjoyed the quiet lake and its walkability to Manitowish Waters, swimming frontage and peaceful setting.We did have difficulty accessing the home on our arrival, we were given an incorrect door code and had to call VACASA to give us a new code which took a good bit of time as the first two new codes did not work. The kitchen garbage was full and food left in the refrigerator. It could use a few more sets of cutlery so that you don’t have to wash cutlery after every meal (3 adults and 1 14 yr old).The second bathroom’s bath tub drained very slowly.
